Sublime Loft in the heart of Brussels offers a home for the modern nomad

A sublime eclectic loft in the heart of Brussels emerges on a bright top floor. Here I celebrate my passion for blending seemingly contradictory worlds together: an audacious petrol blue library, Moroccan carpets, a touch of Flemish medieval, solid Scandinavian design furniture, balanced with contemporary artworks.

Mysterious Loft in Downtown Brussels

A dark industrial warehouse reimagined as an elegant residential loft. I combined dramatic lighting with a bold colour palette woven throughout the space to create a

spectacular multi-layered atmosphere. The adjoining library, with its

ornamental portal and shimmering water fountain feature, transports you to the

medina of Marrakesh.

Empty office turns into oasis of peace in Brussels

An open-concept office space transforms into a luxurious residence. It’s an oasis of peace by design, with elements such a welcoming oak-paneled American kitchen and spacious living area fit for glamorous entertaining or restful comfort.

A city centre heaven five minutes away from La Grande Place in Brussels

I created a pied à terre par excellence in the city centre by reconfiguring one room

and a large outdoor area on the top floor of an old warehouse. It now has a spacious bedroom with adjoining small patio, and an elegant bathroom. The terrace was the challenge. We used most of it for a generous living, kitchen and storage spaces, while leaving a delightfully spacious garden to enjoy the sun.

A surprising fictional character comes to life in this comfortable boutique hotel in Paris

In the 11th arrondissement, I was commissioned to conceptualise and design a boutique hotel behind a listed 1902 Art Nouveau façade. To revive this fascinating period, I invented a fictional character, Pierre Chanzy, and tracked down real treasures to illustrate different chapters of his life story throughout the hotel. In parallel we created an identity for Maison Pierre Chanzy which included storytelling, logo and a unique look & feel.

Riad Feinek, a hidden sanctuary in the medina of Marrakesh

In the Jewish Quarter of Marrakesh, I rejuvenated a dilapidated riad into an elegant boutique residence over three floors and a rooftop terrace. I combined a refined colour palette with Eastern and European furniture to create a contemporary style. Keeping many original Moroccan features, I also opted for modern comfort, installing a stunning black kitchen.

An elegant Parisian-inspired duplex in the international Quarter in Brussels

I renovated and furnished an outdated apartment, giving it new life as an elegant Parisian-inspired duplex. With limited time and budget, I gave the kitchen and

living area a complete makeover, repurposed it into into a cosy reading nook,

generous dining table, comfortable sofa and beautiful vestiaire.
